WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
Decorating for the Holidays.
I have to keep the door closed to the room with the tree
-
Otherwise this one is ready to attack and tear the tree down.
And she looks so innocent
-
I got these years ago, sort of as a joke. Now I hang them in the bedroom during the Holidays
-
ROman those photos of your house over the holidays are gorgeous and I love the denim stockings [emoji173]
-
Thanks Black Orchid, that's very kind of you.

Been working on new things this winter, one being learning how to spray properly.

I was summoned up to Sydney for a short contract last week. I'm likely to be working Saturdays for the next couple of weeks, but had today off, and got to play tourist.
This is Circular Quay. The Harbour Bridge is just behind the cruise liner (the Maasdam).
An Ibis scrounging for food at Circular Quay.
The Fortune of War claims to be the oldest pub in Sydney, and is on what was probably originally the quayside. There's an establishment with a similar name in Brighton (England), which led me to the idea that they were the McDonalds of the Georgian era.
The Lord Nelson Hotel. I stayed there six or seven years ago, on my second trip to Australia. It's in The Rocks, which is rather like a chunk of Whitby that's been dropped into the middle of Sydney.
I caught the ferry over to Manly, and visited the famous beach.
Naturally, I had to take a selfie showing my @Papa Nui hat off in its natural environment. If you join the Beach Battalion, you get posted to the best locations.
Manly is on a peninsula at the northern side of the entrance to Sydney's harbour. So the beach is onto the ocean, whilst the other side faces onto inshore waters.
There are footpaths running along the shore from Manly, through Fairlight, and on to Clontarf. These go through bushland nature reserves, and it's all quite pretty.
This is an Eastern Water Dragon.
A fern beside the path.
And an inlet just as I approached Clontarf.

Brilliant quote.
A close friend of mine DJs at the one in Brighton. I'll mention your theory. -

Great to look at.
How long do you have to wait from today?Strictly speaking it does peak over the the theoretical horizon for a couple of hours a day already. Problem is because of the position of the mountains you can't see it where I live unless you take a boat out of the fjørd and onto the open sea to get a clear look.

How much daylight do you get in June?
